Human Capital

Composed and Performed by Scott L. Miller, Adam Vidiksis, and Sam Wells

About

The second album from Miller, Vidiksis, and Wells marks a deeper, more reflective phase in the trio's journey through the realm of telematic free music. While their debut album resonated with dynamic rhythms and energetic textures, this new collection shifts focus, embracing a darker contemplative ambiance that is rich in depth and nuance. Despite this change in tone, an undercurrent of tension remains, lending a compelling complexity to their soundscapes.

Recorded from their homes spread across the country, the trio has skillfully adapted their musical approach to overcome the challenges of distance. They have fine-tuned their collaboration over more than two years, accommodating the subtle latencies of long-distance music-making, while also preserving the immediacy and unified characteristic of live performance. This album is a testament to their ability to create a harmonious and seamless musical dialogue across miles, blending the immediacy of local play with the thoughtful response required by telematic interaction.
